Public Sector Staff Dail Éireann — 2020-09-29 ============================================================ Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central I would not like to accuse the Deputy of trying to cut people's pay.

I am sure he is not suggesting one treatment for public servants while people working in shops, factories and offices would continue to work a five-day week----- --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
